[VERSE]

G+G
  All my life I've been digging Polish black coal
G+G
 It wasn't much but you know I could play that role
E7E7
 They laid me off and so I kept my pail
E7E7
 And now I wade in bushes down by the rail

   [CHORUS]

   D7D7
    Raider man, got no choice about it
   D7D7
    Raider man, jumpin' up there on it
   E7E7
    Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now

[VERSE]
G+G
  They hired me back and traded my pail for a stick
E7E7
 And now I chase the ones with a pail and a brick

  I chased my cousin, it wasn't no big deal

 And now I wish I never left that darkened hole


[CHORUS]
